Paddy Davitt rates Johannes Hoff Thorup’s Norwich City, who dismantled Hull in impressive fashion at Carrow Road. Angus Gunn 7 Did not return for the second half after what his head coach confirmed afterwards was discomfort in the rib area taking a commanding cross in the first half. Mohamed Belloumi’s rising shot cleared his bar in the 10th minute but had to react to tip over Liam Millar’s dig from the same range in the 15th minute.
Kellen Fisher 8 Playing with such confidence. That technical quality stepping into midfield areas in an inverted role is a given now. But this shift highlighted his improving defensive work.
Seemed to relish a one-on-duel duel with Millar. Tracked the wide player’s run in the 20th minute but a composed header back to Angus Gunn. Squared up by the same player in the 28th minute but stuck to his task to get a foot in.
Even deep in stoppage time, was alive to the danger as he came across from left back to slide in on Joao Pedro who eyed a shooting chance. Shane Duffy 8 Maintaining the levels that have seen him take his City career to a new level under the Dane. Read Marvin Mehlem’s intentions to cut out his cross at the near post in the ninth minute.
Flicked on a Marcelino Nunez corner but no takers as the ball flashed across the Hull six yard back. Snapped a perfect pass into Josh Sargent who back heeled for Anis Ben Slimane to raid. Triggered the flowing move for Sargent’s goal with another quick first time pass into midfield.
